Love and Pain: Poetry from the Chambers of My Heart
“InLove and Pain, Martina offers up a bold display of vulnerability and the inspiring strength intrinsic in that openness.”#8211 Taylor Wray, author of Waiting for the MoonThere is nothing more universal to the human heart than love and pain, including the odyssey they inevitably create in our lives. In Love and Pain, Faulkner’spoems create their own journey as she invites us to walk the various paths inherent in this duality—exloring what it means to be human, alive, and feeling.As we experience the beauty, breadth, and rhythms of love, we also follow along as her words delve into the depths of heartache and grief to explore the pain that can often accompany its partner: love. Navigating these themes together, we are reminded that pain is usually temporary and ever-changing in its intensity, while with love anything—inluding life, itself—ca feel infinitely possible.
